Optimal Clarity: The Sphere X helmets are equipped with Optrel's patented Crystal lens technology, which optimizes clarity and comfort.
Multi-Sensor Automatic Shade Level Detection: In addition to ShadeTronic® technology, the helmets feature a new five-sensor system for enhanced safety and performance.
Hard-Hat Compatible: Allows users to securely attach their welding helmet to an optrel hard hat, essential for work environments where head protection is required in addition to eye and face protection.
IsoFit® X Headband: A 3D-adjustable headband with a two-layer design and flexible padding that conforms to the user's head shape for a perfect fit. It also includes a Position Locker to ensure a safe, open/closed position.
NIOSH-Approved PAPR: The Sphere series helmets are also available in NIOSH-approved (TC# 21C-1389) PAPR versions for increased respiratory protection.
The Sphere X series is available in three models; each tailored for specific welding environments:
Sphere X CLT: Ideal for TIG and precision welding, the CLT offers daylight-like vision with a clear light state of 2.0, minimizing color distortion.
Sphere X Quattro: Built for high-ampere applications and heavy-duty steel construction, this model provides shade levels from 5-13. It has an ISO 16321-2 VI classification for the best viewing angle dependence.
Sphere X 2.5: A versatile all-arounder, this helmet is suitable for MIG, MAG, electrode welding, and grinding. It offers TrueColor View and protection levels from 5 through 12.
All three helmets include a grinding mode and feature ShadeTronic® and FadeTronic technology. The helmets are powered by a battery with an operating time of approximately 1,500 hours.
